As a Vastu consultant in Banaswadi, we cover a group of neighbourhoods that sit close to our office in Virgo Nagar: Banaswadi itself, Kammanahalli, HBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar and Horamavu. The housing here is a mix that rewards careful reading: independent houses in planned layouts, older homes being rebuilt as multi-floor buildings with rental units, newer apartment blocks, and busy commercial stretches with shops, clinics and restaurants on the ground floor.
Each assessment uses our VIDS 16-zone method, measured from true north on site. We keep classical guidance separate from what we measure, plan corrections without demolition, sell no products and take no commission from builders.
Independent houses in HBR Layout and Kalyan Nagar
Planned layouts such as HBR Layout and Kalyan Nagar have many independent houses on regular sites, often built a few decades ago and extended since. A typical reading covers the entrance pada, the kitchen, the master bedroom, toilets, the staircase, the centre of each floor, the sump and the overhead tank.
Extensions are the point to watch. A room added at the back, a staircase moved outside, or a toilet added on the terrace can change the outline and the zones. We read the house as it stands today. See independent house Vastu and staircase Vastu.
Rebuilding an older house as a multi-floor building
Many owners in Kammanahalli, Banaswadi and Kalyan Nagar are pulling down older single-storey homes to build three or four floors, with the owner on one floor and rental units on the others. This is the best moment to apply Vastu, because the whole building is being drawn from scratch.
- Each floor is planned as its own home, with its own centre and 16 zones.
- The common staircase and lift go to the south, west or south-west of the plot, never the north-east or the centre.
- The owner usually takes the floor whose master bedroom falls in the south-west and whose entrance sits on a good pada.
- The sump goes to the north-east of the open space, the overhead tank to the south-west of the roof.
- Meters and the electrical room go to the south-east.
See Vastu for new construction and 30×40 house plan Vastu.
Apartments in Horamavu and around
Horamavu and the roads around it have many apartment blocks. For a flat we read your unit from its own centre: the main door position, kitchen, bedrooms, toilets and balconies by zone. Mirror-image flats in the same block read differently, so we always measure your flat rather than the typical floor plan. See Vastu for apartment and 2BHK flat Vastu.
Shops, clinics and restaurants on the main roads
The main roads through Kammanahalli and Banaswadi are lined with shops, clinics, salons, cafes and restaurants, often on the ground floor of a building with homes above. For a shop, we read the entrance, the cash counter facing north or east, the display and the storeroom. For a clinic, the reception, consultation room and waiting area. For a restaurant, the kitchen in the south-east and the cash counter.
See Vastu for shops, Vastu for clinics and Vastu for restaurants.
Rental homes
Many residents here rent. A tenant controls the decisions that carry most of a Vastu reading: which bedroom the couple uses, where beds and wardrobes stand, how the kitchen is arranged and how the centre is kept. See Vastu for rental homes.
How the visit works
We take compass readings at several points, away from steel grilles, gates, vehicles and appliances, and correct them for magnetic declination, which you can check with the NOAA magnetic declination calculator. We sketch each floor and mark every room and opening by zone. A home visit usually takes two to four hours.
Lecher Antenna readings can be added on site if you want them, described honestly as radiesthesia, which mainstream science does not accept, and kept separate from the measured findings.
Common findings in the area
- A staircase added in the north-east when an older house was extended.
- A toilet added on the terrace in the north-east.
- Rebuilt multi-floor buildings where the owner floor is chosen by view rather than layout.
- Shops with the cash counter facing the street to the south or west.
- The sump in the south-west of a narrow plot.
Each is measured and ranked by how practical it is to change.
Corrections without demolition
- Room allocation, with the couple in the south-west bedroom.
- Furniture, colour and light arranged by zone.
- A clear north-east and centre.
- Cash counter and owner seat repositioned in shops and clinics.
- For rebuilds, every element placed correctly on the drawings.

We measure before we advise, separate classical guidance from measurement, sell nothing and take no commission. We make no promises about health, wealth or business. We tell you how your property reads by direction and what is practical to change.
Choosing the owner floor in a rental building
When a building has three or four similar floors, owners often choose the top floor for the view or the ground floor for convenience. A measured reading gives another basis for the choice. We read every floor and compare the entrance pada, the kitchen zone, the master bedroom zone and any toilet in the north-east or centre. The floor that reads best is usually the right one for the family, and the others can be let with the same care in room planning.
If the floors are still on the drawing board, small changes can make every floor read well, which also helps when tenants ask about layout.
Narrow plots and corner plots
Older layouts often have narrow sites or corner sites with two road frontages. On a narrow site, the staircase position decides most of the plan, so we fix it first in the south or west. On a corner site, we compare entrance positions on both roads and check whether either road meets the plot head-on. See 32 entrances Vastu and veedhi shoola Vastu.
Visiting our office
Our office in Virgo Nagar is on this side of the city, so clients here sometimes prefer to meet in person to go through drawings. Visits are by appointment, every day from 9 am to 9 pm, and you are welcome to bring your plans. The address and a directions link are on our contact page.
Common questions in Banaswadi
Can you read our plan before visiting? Yes. We can review the drawing first and confirm on site.
Do you work with our architect or builder? Yes. We send written comments they can act on.
Do you recommend buying products? No. Every correction is about layout, placement or use.
Homes above shops
On the commercial stretches, many families live above their own shop or above rented commercial space. The building is then read in two parts. The shop floor is read for the entrance, counter, display and storage. The home above is read as a home, with its own centre, kitchen, bedrooms and toilets. The common staircase is checked for its zone, since it serves both.
Keeping the two readings separate means that a choice that suits the shop, such as a wide frontage to the street, does not get confused with what suits the family upstairs.
Interiors and renovation
When a home is being renovated, we mark which walls should stay light and which can carry heavy wardrobes, where the bed and study desk should face, and how the kitchen should be fitted. Sharing this with your interior designer before work starts avoids paying twice, and it keeps the design and the reading in step from the first sketch. See interior Vastu and Vastu for home renovation.
Before you buy in Banaswadi
For a resale house, check the extensions, the staircase and any terrace rooms against the original plan. For a flat, check the door pada, the kitchen and the master bedroom. Our pre-purchase Vastu check covers both, and the written report arrives within 48 hours so it can inform your decision while the deal is still open.

Can you assess a shop or clinic on the main road?
Yes. We read the entrance, cash counter, display, reception and storerooms by zone.
We rent our flat. Is a consultation still useful?
Yes. Most changes are room use and furniture, which tenants control.
